The award exhibition of the UdK Berlin Art Award 2026 presents the four artists Aisha Altenhofen, Tara Habibzadeh, Minu Park and Miriam Umiń.
Since 2023 the award has annually honoured master students of the Fine Arts and Art and Media programmes of the Universität der Künste Berlin. The works combine photographic installations, sculptures and kinetic structures with conceptual approaches. They deal with image production and the public sphere, boundaries and contradictions, the construction of identity, and the material, political and economic conditions of cultural production. Despite their different artistic approaches, the four positions share a precise view of the mechanisms that shape perception, bodies and social systems.
